The Bachelor of Arts in Communication program provides opportunities for study and training in human communication for professionals entering business, industry, media, non-profit organizations, or government service. Communication students practice NC State’s Think and Do axiom each day. As a student here, you’ll test – and improve – your interpersonal communication skills. You’ll study and put into practice the theories and methods that lead to meaningful results.
